Orne (Moselle)
The Orne () is a river in Grand Est, north-eastern France, which is a left tributary of the Moselle and sub-tributary of the Rhine. Its source is in the hills northeast of Verdun. It flows east and joins the Moselle near Mondelange, between Metz and Thionville. Name "Orne" may originate from ''autura'' (a river, ''cf.'' Eure), or ''onna'' (a river) as mentioned in Endlicher's glossary of Gallic names ''De nominibus Gallicis'', in which these words are translated into Latin as ''flumen''. If so, then there is no relationship with the name of the Orne river in Normandy, which is referred to as the ''Olina'' by Ptolemy, a homonym of ''Fluvius Olne'', the Orne saosnoise in Sarthe, which Xavier Delamarre traces back to the Celtic ''olīnā'' (elbow). Geography The Orne is long. It rises at an elevation of in the Côtes de Meuse, in the commune of Ornes. It flows through Étain, Conflans-en-Jarnisy, Auboué, Homécourt, Jœuf, Moyeuvre-Grande, Rosselange, Rombas, Clouange ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Auboué
Auboué is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in northeastern France. Early years An 1832 plan of the village of Auboué shows 50–60 houses, sheds, barns and stables on each side of the Orne river. The church of Coinville had been built, but the church of Auboué had not yet been built, although the location had been set aside and is marked on the plan. At the end of the 19th century there were 100 voters, but ten families of farmers and craftsmen ran the village, sitting in the 10-person municipal council. Often a son or son-in-law succeeded his father or father-in-law. Industrialization Xavier Rogé of the Société de Pont-à-Mousson began to investigate land around Auboué, and on 1 December 1882 found the upper layers of the iron oxide formation of the Briey Basin. The survey then stopped, since the company undertaking it declared that the iron oxide formation had been completely crossed. Rogé's assistant Camille Cavallier thought there could be lower layers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
